We very much
regret to tell you that Janet Mackay died in 1999 after a
prolonged battle with cancer. We have left these pages up as a
tribute to her.

A wise nation preserves its record,
Decorates the graves of its illustrious dead,
Repairs the great public structures,
And fosters national pride and love of country
By perpetual references to the sacrifices and
glories of the past.
[Joseph Howe: Premier of Nova Scotia, 1860-1873]

Exiled or at home, love of country and clan
Are feelings we'll never let die;
Defy and defend, stand true to the end,
And honour the name of MacKay
[Elizabeth Mackay: Bridge of Allan, 1889]
